“I’m living the dream” is an expression that is often used but hardly ever experienced. Much has been said about the importance of dreams and visions for a fulfilled life. Yet, there are more dissatisfied people today, than ever. This is because without wisdom, strategies and disciplines, visions remain grounded. Many have not reached the lofty positions that their dreams had for them due to a lack of these three fundamental forces. Solomon, the most successful entrepreneurial king, knew the keys to success. In Ecclesiastes, he said, “For a dream cometh through the multitude of business.” Modern translations render this verse as, “A dream comes through by much business, much activities and painful efforts.” This means, merely having a dream without activities, strategies and certain disciplines implemented in your life will not trigger your dream to materialize.

Daily devotional that helps you start your day with Jesus and be ready to make success

Writings from the Garden of Gethsemane is about a special garden that became a place of great honor and privilege for us. We relate Gethsemane to sadness, but it was so much more than this. Let us explore this exciting Gethsemane journey together. Oh, what it will unfold! At age 12, I read about Gethsemane. I was taken in by the sadness of Jesus asking the disciples to watch with Him during His worst hours only to find them sleeping. I recall saying: “Jesus, may you never find me sleeping in your time of need”. It is life changing when we understand the two amazing things that happened at Gethsemane. It was the first and only time Jesus expressed a need for us. What an honor to serve the Son of God. That day Jesus showed how He loved us by saying ‘yes’. Jesus was as much God as if He were not man and; He was as much man as if He were not God. So, He could have refused Calvary. He had His own will separate and apart from God. I spend time in the Garden feeling so grateful for His love and to watch with Him as a result of my love for Him. It is a place where I try capturing His every need. During these precious reflection times, I also write so that I can share my experiences hoping to bless at least a few. Today His need is great. He desires to reclaim us all for His Heavenly Father. Let us respond so that His death was not in vain. Let us do it in such a manner that God gets the glory of it all ... a glory that He will not share with another (Isaiah 42:8). In the process of glorifying Him, we are glorified.

The discovery, in the middle of the 17th century, of both the weight of air and the law governing its elasticity transformed the status of the atmosphere from that of a purely mathematical object to that of a complex and highly variable physical system. In the context of rapidly intensifying experimentation and observation, the nature of the atmosphere was therefore the subject of a host of hypotheses, which 18th century scholars tried to reconcile with a coherent physical approach. In particular, this was achieved by the conceptualization of invisible or “subtle” materials, thought to be closely linked to atmospheric stratification. Subtle matter was introduced, largely to reconcile contradictory results concerning the estimation of the height of the atmosphere. These estimations were based on different methods, mainly using the observation of meteors and the refracted and reflected light of stars. Taking as its common thread the question of the height of the atmosphere, which was omnipresent in the texts at the time, this book traces the history of the discovery of the atmosphere and the many questions it generated.
